So. Exactly a month ago I told you all about being involved in my first deer crash. Thankfully the car was still drivable til we could get it in to the body shop 2 weeks ago. We decided to get it fixed up about 4 hours away, up near Traverse City, where a friend of ours has a body shop. We have rental coverage through our insurance, and boy am I glad we sprang for that.
The body shop had our car for almost 2 weeks, and Karl was able to go up this past weekend to pick it up on Saturday. Sunday he is driving home, constantly watching out for deer (we've both been kinda spooked at night driving since the accident). Out of nowhere - stupid deer number 2!!!! He said he just had one thought - 'You've got to be sh
ing me!!' This time the damage was much worse, the engine died out and he just coasted along the shoulder. The guy behind him stopped, freaking out, 'Dood! Are you ok man? Sheesh, that was like Monty Python with the animals getting thrown by the catapults! That thing must have gone 40 feet in the air!' So thankfully Karl was fine, the guy gave him a ride to a payphone so he could call me, and luckily I was only about 40 minutes away so I could come get him.
He thinks it's totaled, we won't know til sometime this week, and I'm concerned that if they do total it we won't get enough to cover what we owe on it
My insurance agent's comment was, 'Well you know they go in 3's. I'd watch out there may be one more lurking about....' Actually this is the 3rd time he has hit a deer with this car, and the car is only 2 years old! He clipped the back end of a deer about 6 months after we got the car, but ended up with just a ding in the bumper.
Gah!!!!!! Seriously, what are the chances?!?

How scary and weird!! 
sorry to see that. i had a similar thing happend however it wasn't due to a deer hitting my car. after one month of receiving my new car, my sister's friend back their car right into my car and ripped off my bumper. i was pissed. i took it to the body shop and had it repaired. then exactly one week after i got it back from the body shop i was hit from behind by a careless driver who was not paying attn. to the fact that i was stopped at a stop light! 
Move out of deer country?
